 * Builds a new Record using the given array as keys and choosing a value for each
 * key using the given selector. If any of two pairs would have the same value
 * the latest on will be used (overriding the ones before it).
 *
 * Example:
 *
 * ```ts
 * import { associateWith } from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/collections/mod.ts"
 * import { assertEquals } from "https://deno.land/std@$STD_VERSION/testing/asserts.ts";
 *
 * const names = [ 'Kim', 'Lara', 'Jonathan' ]
 * const namesToLength = associateWith(names, it => it.length)
 *
 * assertEquals(namesToLength, {
 *   'Kim': 3,
 *   'Lara': 4,
 *   'Jonathan': 8,
 * })
 * ```
